AI-Powered Cargo Load Planning — Europe

Load Planning built for airlines and cargo operators in Europe

Belli rebuilt load planning from first principles for airlines and cargo operators in Europe — not as a bolt-on to a legacy core. Manual load planning costs airlines revenue on every single flight. Planners using spreadsheets and legacy tools make errors that cause delays, weight and balance issues, and suboptimal ULD utilization. Belli's AI load planning engine automates the entire build-up process — optimizing cargo placement across ULD positions in real time, validating weight distribution against aircraft limits, and maximizing revenue per available position on every departure. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

Operators routing through Amsterdam (AMS) and Luxembourg (LUX) — carriers in the class of IAG Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's load planning targets a measurable outcome — 12% revenue recovery — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in Europe, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality in Europe

Here is what actually breaks for airlines and cargo operators in Europe.

What changes with Belli

Belli replaces that with a single platform tuned for Europe's requirements:

• Integration with airline departure control systems
• Visual ULD layout with drag-and-drop override
• Real-time weight and balance validation

Before Belli: Planners spend 45-90 minutes per flight on manual load plans. Errors cause last-minute offloads, weight penalties, and revenue loss. After Belli: AI generates optimal load plans in under 60 seconds. Zero weight violations. 12% average revenue recovery from better ULD utilization.

How Belli's Load Planning works in Europe

Belli's load planning runs as one connected workflow, configured for Europe from day one.

In practice, that means integration with airline departure control systems, hazmat and special cargo constraint checking, and visual ULD layout with drag-and-drop override. Belli also covers multi-leg load plan continuity against Europe's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Europe's requirements

Europe is not a single market — it is a set of regulators, hubs, and carrier models that punish one-size-fits-all software. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

That shows up in the details: EU ICS2 mandatory pre-arrival cargo data filing; UK PreDICT post-Brexit customs requirements; and ACC3 designation required for all carriers operating into EU airports. Carriers such as IAG Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo, Air France-KLM Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Europe

The migration is the opposite of a legacy rip-and-replace. Master data and partner connections are stood up against a real test load. The team is live and supported before the old system is switched off. A named engineer stays attached after launch — reachable 24/7, not via a portal.

The bottom line for airlines and cargo operators in Europe

The bottom line for airlines and cargo operators is direct. Doing nothing has a price, and it compounds every flight. 12% revenue recovery is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Carriers like IAG Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo, Air France-KLM Cargo already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
